A Granite Quarry man was charged with heroin possession after someone notified authorities there may be drug activity in the parking lot of Innes Street Station where Big Lots and Harbor Freight are located.

Salisbury Police charged Justin Drew Peterson, 35, of the 300 block of Bradford Drive, with felony possession of a controlled substance schedule I. He was issued a $5,000 secured bond and remains in the Rowan County Detention Center.

Authorities say someone called about a red Honda parked there. Officers were given permission to search the vehicle by the occupants. Police found needles in a bag along with a spoon inside the car. One person, later identified as Peterson, went inside Big Lots. A police officer went inside the store to find Peterson, who willingly consented to a search, said Police Capt. Shelia Lingle.

Peterson was found with a small plastic bag that contained 0.3 grams of black tar heroin inside.
